If several users work on your computer, we recommend creating a personal profile for each user in Yandex.Browser. That way your information and browser settings will not get mixed up with someone else's.

If necessary, turn off the option Create a desktop shortcut for this user.

A new window with the selected profile icon will be created in Yandex.Browser. You can view all your browser profiles in the settings:

Click the profile icon in the upper-right corner of the browser.

Select the desired profile in the menu that appears.

The profile you select will open in a new browser window.
